Twin Brooks Community League invited The Shared Mic hosts Salima Suleman and Eric Storey to a special event in Dec. 2019, which brought together community members from diverse backgrounds, ages and stages of life.

You’ll hear from community members Thelma Reid & Mengzhe (Maggie) Wang, Sofie Rong & Fareda Baksh Marshall, Mohammad Hussan & Andy Xia, Yubiao Chang & Melissa Carvalho, Tony Wang & Tegan Liberty.
